The all-new-just-announced Kreon Micro-Changers which Hasbro unveiled last week at SDCC, have already begun showing up at a couple of comic book stores. Thanks to Fishformers for figuring out how to match the stamped numbers on the packaging of this blind packaged toys to the product numbers of the toys themselves.

With a case in hand, Seibertron.com can confirm that the numbers do indeed match up for all 6 figures which we provided proof with via the pictures below.

The instructions also show how to convert the Kreon Micro-Changer from robot to alternate modes. The figures do not transform. Instead, you will need to "rebuild" the figure much like you do with the larger Kre-O Transformers sets.

It's great that they can be ID for those looking not to splash out on a box/multiple packs. But like Lego they will be alerted, and come up with another coding/hidden bumps. Stuff like this should be kept like a dirty secret (people know about it but do not say it out aloud). That's if buyers do wish to be able to ID them easily.

Some of them might be identifiable by feeling the pieces inside. For example, Sunstorm's wings would be easy to feel through the package.

I don't think Hasbro really cares if people can ID them. The IDs on their other franchises blind bags have been deciphered ages ago, and yet they haven't changed them. Kids won't know the codes, and collectors will probably buy multiple anyway, so they aren't really loosing out by us knowing the codes.

Pft. Who needs codes when you have fingers?
Just feel the bags for the specific pieces. If you collect the lego/mega blox ones you would know. Furthermore, Lego has 16, Mega blocks has 10-ish different figures in a case, while this has only 6.

As for the rest, do the "elimination" method where if it has a piece that does not belong, it's not it, and try to guess the rest of the parts. This could be harder than lego due to the amount of pieces, when lego only has hat+head+body+leg+weapon ... But hey, 6 figures opposed to 16.

Codes are nice too... I'm sure hasbro deliberately put em on there, seeing how each has a specific instruction manual.

Megabloks has yet to come up with a new system of identification. They use number codes as well that are easily cracked. It's more sophisticated than this, but still useable for the determined.

Really? I've just been fondling them looking for the weapons. Is there a site that tells you how to decipher the code?

Also, can't wait for these to show up in other stores, my local comic stores suck.
